Foreword

Timely and reliable statistics are considered essential for evidence-based policy and decision-making and for better support to policy implementation, monitoring progress and evaluation of outcomes and impacts of development initiatives such as the Vision 2020 Programme, the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS), and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). These initiatives have accordingly resulted in an unprecedented increase in demand for statistics as policy makers and other stakeholders seek information on national development.

One of the major challenges to successful implementation of the Rwanda development agenda lies in the ability to measure progress and to respond to data needs emerging from current national initiatives aimed at promoting economic and social development in the country.

This classification manual is designed to serve as a standard tool for statistical practitioners in their endeavours to produce required statistics on the social, political, and economic situation of Rwanda. The aim of this publication should be to serve as a convenient volume for statistical reference and as a guide to other statistical publication and sources.

This first edition shows now the available codes for the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08), adapted to Rwandan situation.

Users of the Classification Manual are urged to make their information needs known for consideration in planning future editions. We are confident that this Classification Manual will become key guidelines in furnishing a wide range of development information on Rwanda.

The Rwanda Customised International Standard classification of Occupations (ISCO-08) was prepared by the National Institute of Statistics (NISR) through a team comprising APELL Derek – Principal Statistician in charge of sampling and classification, Amiina Julius SEIZI Classification Officer in charge of official Statistics and Martin UWITONZE – Intern. The team greatly relied on technical support from other units within NISR as well as the guidance from Mr. Abulata MOHAMMAD - technical advisor to the Director General, NISR. The Team was under the supervision of Dominique HABIMANA, Director of Statistical Methods, research and publication unit, and the overall coordination under the general direction of Yusuf MURANGWA, Director General, NISR.

During the preparation of this manual, NISR relied on cooperation with several Government institutions and Ministries whose contribution is gratefully acknowledged.

0 Armed forces occupations

Armed forces occupations include all jobs held by members of the armed forces. Members of the armed forces are those personnel who are currently serving in the armed forces, including auxiliary services, whether on a voluntary or compulsory basis, and who are not free to accept civilian employment and are subject to military discipline. Included are regular members of the army, navy, air force and other military services, as well as conscripts enrolled for military training or other service for a specified period.

Occupations in this major group are classified into the following sub-major groups: 01 Commissioned armed forces officers 02 Non-commissioned armed forces officers 03 Armed forces occupations, other ranks

Excluded from this group are: Jobs held by persons in civilian employment of government establishments concerned with defence issues; Police (other than military police); Customs inspectors and members of border or other armed civilian services.

Notes

Many jobs performed by members of the armed forces are similar, in terms of the nature of the work performed, to civilian occupations such as medical doctors, radio operators, cooks, secretaries and heavy truck drivers. Conceptually, it may be appropriate therefore, to classify such jobs in the armed forces with similar civilian jobs. This approach is adopted in several national occupation classifications. Typically such classifications also identify a number of military specific occupational groups. In many countries, however, it is not possible to produce information about the nature of the work performed by members of the armed forces. In adapting ISCO-08 for national purposes countries may wish, therefore, to consider what approach best suits their circumstances and user needs. For purposes of international comparability, however, where data pertaining to members of the armed forces are reported and classified by occupation, they should be included where possible in ISCO-08 major group 0, Armed forces occupations.

01 Commissioned armed forces officersCommissioned armed forces officers provide leadership and management to organisational units in the armed forces and/or perform similar tasks to those performed in a variety of civilian occupations outside the armed forces.
